Good
,
Ayrton

They
seem
uneasy
,
Captain
Harding
.
"
"
Yes
,
instinct
speaks
through
them
,
and
instinct
is
never
deceived
.
"
"
Are
you
ready
?
"
"
Take
a
lamp
,
Ayrton
,
"
answered
the
engineer
;
"
we
will
start
at
once
.
"
Ayrton
did
as
desired
.
The
onagers
,
unharnessed
,
roamed
in
the
corral
.
The
gate
was
secured
on
the
outside
,
and
Cyrus
Harding
,
preceding
Ayrton
,
took
the
narrow
path
which
led
westward
to
the
shore
.
The
soil
they
walked
upon
was
choked
with
the
pulverized
matter
fallen
from
the
cloud
.
No
quadruped
appeared
in
the
woods
.
Even
the
birds
had
fled
.
Sometimes
a
passing
breeze
raised
the
covering
of
ashes
,
and
the
two
colonists
,
enveloped
in
a
whirlwind
of
dust
,
lost
sight
of
each
other
.
They
were
then
careful
to
cover
their
eyes
and
mouths
with
handkerchiefs
,
for
they
ran
the
risk
of
being
blinded
and
suffocated
.
It
was
impossible
for
Cyrus
Harding
and
Ayrton
,
with
these
impediments
,
to
make
rapid
progress
.
Moreover
,
the
atmosphere
was
close
,
as
if
the
oxygen
had
been
partly
burned
up
,
and
had
become
unfit
for
respiration
.
At
every
hundred
paces
they
were
obliged
to
stop
to
take
breath
.
It
was
therefore
past
ten
o'clock
when
the
engineer
and
his
companion
reached
the
crest
of
the
enormous
mass
of
rocks
of
basalt
and
porphyry
which
composed
the
northwest
coast
of
the
island
.
Ayrton
and
Cyrus
Harding
commenced
the
descent
of
this
abrupt
declivity
,
following
almost
step
for
step
the
difficult
path
which
,
during
that
stormy
night
,
had
led
them
to
Dakkar
Grotto
.
In
open
day
the
descent
was
less
perilous
,
and
,
besides
,
the
bed
of
ashes
which
covered
the
polished
surface
of
the
rock
enabled
them
to
make
their
footing
more
secure
.
